Hey people!

I played Undertale about a year after release, but accidentally did not do a pacifist run, resulting in me not being able to get the "true" ending without fully playing the game from start again. I left it there, pretty happy with my experience.

A month ago I decided to give it another go, mainly because of an interest in the earthbound series and also because I might try out Deltarune and wanted to be up to speed.

This game is just so... nice. The subjects, the insecurities that are mentioned, the hopefulness, the acceptance of everyone that just permeates throughout the whole work, it's astounding. The characters are all so imperfect and charming in their own way. I've been going through a tough period myself and a lot of the messages about acceptance of who you are and connection with people you love just really hit home.

I know this game is already highly regarded and I'm saying nothing new here, but I just wanted to share what it did for me and that it really, really holds up.

It's a game that kinda sprung up out of nowhere and exploded in popularity, but the popularity was well deserved it is a pretty good game. The younger fanbase being a bunch of over excited and obsessed turned off a lot of people, but I feel like it's a little silly to hate something because kids were acting like children.

Definitely play Deltarune. I like Undertale but Deltarune, especially chapter 2, was insanely good for being free.

Can you play the first two chapters without ending at a cliffhanger? Have been thinking if I should wait for all of it to release or play the free chapters now.

Up to you, though from the last info we got it seems like things are moving along nicely development wise. The full game should be done by later next year I feel.

It's always good to mention "famously good" games. I played dark souls a year ago for the first time because of a post like this I saw.

To people who haven't played Undertale; you'll probably like it, it's very good.

To anyone who hasn't played it. You might love it, or it might not click with you. And that's fine either way.

I have tried to get into this game multiple times throughout the years and I can never get over the slow walking and annoying bullet hell combat

You can't actually get the true ending on your first playthrough. You have to do the neutral ending first.

It is a wonderful little game!

I'm confused then. I played through Pacifist and thought I got the true ending. Though I am aware of a different ending if you play a Genocide run beforehand.

I've never heard of a neutral run in particular adding anything on subsequent runs.

Once you finished the final boss, you can re-load your last save and there are extra bits you need to do in order to get the full pacifist run and second final boss.

The game won't start the events that take you there without first completing the neutral run final boss, even if you did a full pacifist run on your first play through.

So, I have only played through the entire game once and it was a Pacifist run. I did the full extended run, reloading my last save and everything.

I started a Neutral run later, but I haven't even completed it yet.

Edit: I just googled it. You have to view the neutral ending once, which you get at the end of the Pacifist run before reloading. You do not need to do a full Neutral run.

I'm glad you finally got a chance to play it. I played it back in 2020, and it was the kind of game I needed to get me through those times.

I've been enjoying Deltarune too. I can't wait for the game to be finished.

I loved every second of playing Undertale. I got genuinely happy for the characters and I even cried a little. Definitely a masterpiece!

Time for a Genocide run so you can casually murder all of the characters that you’ve become attached to!

Who was your favorite character of the bunch? I always like to see who people gravitate towards

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Toriel and Papyrus :).

And the running child monster
